MÜHLEN PS-400-M — Micro Cut Auto Feed Document Shredder at P5
Who Is It For?
The MÜHLEN PS-400-M is a micro cut auto feed document shredder for departments that regularly destroy large volumes of confidential paper, such as accounting, HR, legal and archive teams. Choose it over the P4 version when a finer 2x12 mm particle is required. Staff place a stack of up to 400 sheets in the tray and walk away, while the P5 micro cut makes the remains very hard to piece back together. With dimensions of 400x500x760 mm and a net weight of 23.6 kg, it is suited to a team setting in a fixed spot.
Key Features and What They Do
- 2x12 mm mini micro cut, P5: Pages become small unreadable particles for sensitive records.
- 400 sheets of 80 gsm, unattended: Shredding starts by itself and stops at the end, saving staff time.
- 500 Watt motor: 12.5 m/min with auto feed for bulk jobs, 1.8 m/min in manual mode for single sensitive documents.
- Anti-jam automatic reverse: Excess paper is fed back instead of jamming, keeping the workflow going.
- Code lock and door safety: The tray can be code protected, and the machine does not run while the door is open.
- 53 litre drawer bin: Removable and spacious, so emptying is needed less often.

What else can it destroy apart from paper?
Cards and credit cards are cut into 4 pieces in a separate slot, and CDs/DVDs can be shredded too.
Do staples need to be removed?
No. Staples and small paper clips do not affect paper shredding, although larger metal parts should be kept out.

Usage and Care Tips
Load no more than 400 sheets into the auto tray and 10 sheets into the 240 mm manual slot; overfeeding leads to jams and strain. Check that the door is closed before starting. When an overload or heat icon appears, let the motor cool before restarting. Empty the drawer when the panel shows the bin-full icon. Its 4 castors and noise level below 55 dB make it easy to reposition and comfortable in open offices.
